Since my ongoing fascination with turquoise continues, here is turquoise all the way from Tunisia. With a white and blue palette and a minimalism reminiscent of Santorini, Dar Bibine is a guest house located in the heart of the preserved medina of Erriadh, in Djerba.

This is good design
- love those circular grooves with towels in them

The pool at 2 different times in the day.

I was generally browsing through Marie Claire Maison- (not that I understand French, but the language of eyecandy is universal) and I came across these stunning pictures. Babelfish came to rescue and I figured I'm looking at this gorgeous little hotel in a Tunisian village, Djerba, called Dar Dhiafa. There is just so much romance in these visuals & they remind me of Morocco. I just find myself continually drawn to its colourful world which is so much like India & not.

Loved this screen which has the typical geometric designs one has come to associate with muslim art & architecture

aaah.. step into the a world of rough hewn curved arches...

...and Moorish cafes.

the beautifully lit poolside

Colourful Turkish baths

and pristine calming bedrooms...An interesting verandah to curl with a book

I just love the way they use colour, a lot in some places, just a touch in others. This reminds me I need to pull out my pics from rajasthan & cover the couple of places where I was put up when I went. It should make for some really colourful posts.
